Dwarf frogs and bettas do very well together. As far as the bubbles, no you dont have to have them. Dwarf frogs normally swim to the top for a breath of air anyways.

Yes a drawf frog and betta can coexsist together peacefully. Frogs do need an air stone though. Alls you have to do is get one of those small air pumps and hook it up to an airstone, I'm sure this will make your betta happy too. I'd also recomend a small heater to keep the temp of the tank at 70 to 75 degrees. They even have mini filtration systems (the sting ray or ray filter).
I would recomend a 5 gal mini or office tank. It will give them ample of room and make them both happy.
Right now, I have a Beta, two guppies, a cat fish, and two drawf frogs in a 5.5 gal tank with a mini air stone, the stingray filter and a little heater. They are all living well together and the betta loves the company.

The dwarf frog will be a great companion for the betta. But, you really need to get a larger container for them. A betta needs at least 3 gallons of water to live in. A ten gallon aquarium costs less than $10 at a fish store and would be perfect for the two of them.
Also, bettas are tropical fish from southeast Asia where the temps are normally in the high 70's and low 80's all the time, so you will need to get a heater for the tank.
In a small unheated container, the temp will fluctuate as your home cools in the night and heats up during the day. This is very unhealthy for any fish as they all need a steady temp.
The stress caused by rising and falling temps eventually compromises the fish's immune system causing it to weaken and they fall victim to various opportunistic bacteria and parasites.
In the wild, bettas live for up to 7 years, in our "care", they are lucky to make it for two......

Frogs go to the surface for air.
While betas are aggressive fish... dwarf frogs can be too in my experience. Mine will eat any fish that will fit into it's mouth. So just be sure that your beta is big enough to be with him. You'll just have to test them out and at the first sign of hostility separate them.

They shoudl be ok. My mom has a betta, and 2 frogs and some cat fish, and they are perfectly fine. maybe get the frogs in pairs to help
keep them social. and good luck.

Bettas can be aggressive and pick on other fish and animals in the tank. I had a Betta that ate my fiddler crab right out of it's shell. I wouldn't wish that on your frog.

i had a little frog with a beta once....i seem to remember my beta picking on the frog a lot..well the frog passed on and then i put a snail in with the beta. i had an aerator to begin with in my little tank. ask at a pet store to make sure.
